Be 1t known that I, WILLIAM A. WARMAN,

j a citizen of the United States, and a resident Aevenly and perfectly balanced, and

readily reversed, and with these and other ends in view consists in certain novel features of construction and combinations of parts, as will be hereinafter fully described, -and pointed out in the claims.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure l is a view in end elevation of my improved motor, a part or portion thereof being broken away. Fig. 2 is a sectional view taken on the line 2 2 of'Fig. l. Figs. 3 and 4 are sectional views of the valve,showing the same in its several different positions.

My improved motor comprises a motor proper and a suitable casing, the latter being constructed in any desired way, that illustrated in the drawings consisting of the end plates-A B, bolted or otherwise secured to the central cylindrical portion C, said end plates A B being provided with the bearings a b, in which is journaled a shaft- D. On this shaft D is loosely mounted a wheel E, prevented from rotation by means of the screw or bolt e assing through the casing and into said whee as illustrated in Fig. 2, and which wheel is provided at about the center ol its rim or periphery with a groove or recess e', that illustrated in the drawings being V- shaped in cross-section. On the rim of this wheelE and to each side of the recess are formed the curved vanes c2, between which the elastic uid passes on its way into or out of the recess e, the diameter of said wheel F being such as to nicely tit within the cylindrical portion C of the casing. Cn each side of the wheel E and tightly keyed or other-' wise secured tothe shaft D are the wheels or disks F, the rlms or peripheries of which are also provided with curved vanes, the diame- 'ter of said disks or wheels being such as to allow them to rotate within the central portion C of the casing. On each side of the rotating'disks F are located the disks G, also provided with curved vanes on their rims or peripheries, said disks'Gbeing secured against movement by bolting or fastening them to the end plates B or, if desired, to the central portion C ot'v the casing and together with the end plates A B form chambers GC To the casing of the motor is secured a valve-chamber H, containing the valve I,

' and in which valve-chamber is Ian exhaustp'ort h and an inlet-port i, the latter being connected with some suitable reservoir of steam, water, gas, or other supply of elastic fluid, by meamv of which the motor is to be operated.

From the valve-chamber H leads the inletpipesK L, the former being connected to the pipe M, the ends of which latter lead into the chambers G between the end plates A B and disks G, thepipe L leading through the casing C into the recess c, formed in the wheel E.

From the valve-chamber H lead the eX- haust-pipes N C, the former--that is, the pipe N-being connected with the pipe P,

`the ends of which lead into the chambers G',

the pipe C leading into the chamber or recess e, formed 1n the wheel E.

'To the valve proper, I, is secured'the lever or handle I by which said valve proper, I, may be moved', as shown in Fig. 4, whereby the gas or elastic fluid is allowed to iiow into the valve-chamber through the inlet-port i, whence it will flow through the inlet-pipes K M and into the chambers G. The elastic fluid will then How through the vanes on the stationary disks G. and by impact on the vanes on the wheel F and reaction 0n the vanes on the wheel E will cause the rotation oi' said disks F in a certain direction, the elastic iluid owing through said vanes and into the recess or chamber e', out of which it will 'disk between the pairs` of stationary disks g v through the port h in the valve-chamber I.

v tating disks located at each end of the motor.

tion as indicated in Fig. 3, both the inlet and exhaust pipes Will be closed and the motor brou ht to rest. It the hazdleor lever be still rther turned, so that the valve proper isbrouffht into the position as illustrated in A dotted llines in Fig. 1, the gas orelastic fluid will flow through the pipe L into the chamber or recess e, and passing through the venes formed on the stationary wheel E, rotating Wheels F, and stationary wheels G the said rotating Wheels will be turned or caused to rotate 1n the opposite direction, the elastic iiuid then passing'into the chambers (ir/,out through the exhaust-pipe P, pipe N, and out In other Words, when the elastic fluid is admitted into the casing on the one side oi the rotating disks, or wheels the latter will be caused to turn in one direction and when admitted upon the other side of said rotating Wheels the latter will be caused to rotate inE the opposite direction, the motor being balanced and all end thrust upon the shaft D avoided by locating the rotating disks on. both sides of the center thereof and equalizing the pressure of the elast-ic fluid on the ro- It Will of course be understood that the arrangement of inletand exhaust pipesmay be changed, as well as the construction and arrangement ot the valve, without in anyway departin from the spirit and scope of my invention, 1t simply being necessary to provide such pipe br pipes to allow of the inlet and outlet otthe elastic fluid on opposite sides ol" the rotating disk, and that a stationary disk be located upon each side of said rotating disk in order that the vanes on the several disks maybe so formed, and arranged as. to cause a change in direction of travel of said rotating disk accordingly as said elastic fluid is admitted and exhausted upon one side or the other of said rotating disks.

l Having fully described 'my in vention,what I( claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

l. A turbine-motor comprising a casing, a pair of parallel, spaced, stationary disks therein, and provided 'with vanes, the outermost of said disks being spaced from the ends of the casing to form chambers, a rotatable,`

and provided with 'va-nes, and means for supl plying an elastic fluid to said vanes from either side of theV stationary disks 'whereby the direction oi travel ofthe rotatable disk l may be changed. 1

2. A turbine-motor comprising a suitable having curved vanes on its periphery and means, including .stationary vanes, located on either side of said rotating disk for the admission of an elastic iluid to the latter, ano' whereby the direction of travel of said rotating disk may be governed, said stationary disks'having curved vanes on their peripheriescommunicating 'with the vanes pf the rotatable disk, substantially as described.4

3. A turbine-motor comprising a suitable casing,'a stationary disk therein, said disk roove or "channel having a circumferential with peripheral varies at t e sides thereof, V'al stationary disk between each side of the iirst-nained disk andfthe corresponding end of the casing, and s aced from said ifirst?I named disk, rotatab e disks in the interspaces between the stationary disks, eac-h of said disks provided with vanes, and 'means for directin an elastic fluid in either ditection throng 1 said vanes, whereby the direction yof travel of the rotatable disk may be governed., substantially as described..

4. A turbine-motor com rising asuitable casing, a shaft journaled t ierein, a rotating disk secured to said shaft and having curved vanesV around its peri heries,' a stationary disk locatedon each si e of said rotating disk and havingcurved vanes around its periphery, and means provided for thadmissionand exhaust of an elastic fluid on either side oi said rotating disk, whereby the direction of travel or the latter may be changed, 'substantially as described. A I

5. A turbine-motor comprising a suitable casing, a rotating shaft journaled therein, 'an stationary wheel provided. with Aa chamber and having vanes on each side of the latter, a rotating disk provided with vanes secured on each side of said stationary 'wheel and fastened to said shaft, and stationary disks provided With vanes located on the outside of said rotating disks, an inlet and outlet lpipes for admitting and exhausting an elastic iluid on either side ot said rotating disks, whereby the direct-ion of travel of the latter may be changed, substantially as described.. l
